Hello folks!

Just thought I was introduce myself after having my car for a few months.

You guys may have seen my previous cars:

I now own an Alpine White 2008 M3 Coupe. It's a fully loaded 6spd manual except sunroof with black interior. Since I got the car I have already done all the major preventative maintenance such as rod bearings and etc

A few mods I have on the car are:

Staggered 18" Volk TE37SL
Airrex suspension (Had KW-V3 previously but went bags)
H&R sway bars
LCI Tail lights
Top Speed Catless X-Pipe (no resonators)
RPI Axle Back exhaust
other light stuff (angel eyes, license plate)
Trunk lip
ZHP shift knob
Diffuser
i'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting too..

to come:
GT4 Lip
Side Diffuser
Rear spats or full diffuser for rear
ESS Supercharger
Brembo Kit
Half Cage
19x10.5/19x12 setup
re-do front bumper due to hitting a coyote on highway and ripped off my splitters

Here is how it currently looks (I apologize for inconsistent editing; I'm not very good at it)

Drive height

Aired out (fronts sit on tire and rear can go lower but it looks weird since front gets stuck)

Not keen on the bags but it sits very well in this picture

Looks great!

yonlamar · 04-02-2017, 02:16 PM

Looking good

F1FL · 04-02-2017, 05:06 PM

Looks great man! Been seeing this car on Instagram a lot the past few days. Really loving the drive height, that's the sweet spot for me.

Thanks! That's the idea - I do enjoy driving low (as you can see from my previous cars) but I don't enjoy scraping the speed bumps etc.. so I went bags and they still perform better than stock suspension!

I have to agree, I do wish I had 19" right now! Just no time to work on the car yet..

Thanks! Yup - Still a very reasonable drive height. Nobody would guess that it's bagged

I know! I definitely miss it. Wish you guys would've made a lip for that car!

I could use one for the M3

I recently got bored (currently out of state for work and don't have my tools out here to do ANYTHING) so I plasti-dipped my wheels.. Been toying with the idea of powdercoating the wheels either mag blue or black and I couldn't decide so I tried both for now.. like the ricer that I am

the blue isn't 100% what I wanted it to be, I wanted it to be a little darker like mag blue but hey it's plasti dip so you can only do so much

Here's the photoset... let me know what you think

My car is definitely not perfect and you can tell from the photos.. my front bumper progressively gets worse and worse as I commute from CA to AZ often

Blindside_137 · 04-17-2017, 10:09 PM

I am a sucker for 18"s on the E92, looks great

I think the silver is my favorite, but between blue and black I would pick the blue

Hujan · 04-17-2017, 11:29 PM

I liked the original gunmetal/silver TEs the best!

tr4plord · 04-19-2017, 01:58 AM

Loving the build bro

KwlAznKid · 04-23-2017, 08:50 PM

I think the blue looks great man

Narvin · 05-15-2017, 10:18 PM

Thanks guys!

Another small update while I still live out in Arizona - got some Splitters and TEE rear bumper spats! Here are pics from 2 photoshoots, definitely did some hoodrat stuff on the road in the middle of nowhere..

blast1st · 05-18-2017, 10:52 AM

very nice setup. hows the ride on them bags? is it bouncy? also do you still have them kw suspension?

Rides like a decent set of coils on bags! Obviously not as good as the KWv3 but oh well. I sold them sorry!

Update... Sold the equips but here are some pics from my photoshoot with them..

here is my drive height for aggressive driving but for cruising I'm about 1/2 inch lower in the front than this pic

rdoctor · 08-17-2017, 10:49 AM

I'm not a big fan of super slammed cars but yours looks pretty darn good. Like Hujan, I like the pressed graphite color on the TE37's better. Here's some mood music for this thread

Narvin · 11-25-2017, 11:18 AM

I haven't updated this for a while! I definitely went off-track of my plan. I ended up going with Liberty Walk on my car. Came across a DEAL I could not pass on..

Here are some pictures before I dialed in the fitment

here is drive height

Something I didn't know was that the fenders come really THICK. So the above photos were before I shaved them down

here is air down height after shaving them down a little bit - still pretty thick because I am scared to shave down these overpriced fenders down a lot

tried to add some of the stickers for fun since it came with the kit anyways..
